1) Right click on OSX Lion.app and click show contents. Open up Contents/Shared Support/InstallESD.dmg3) When it is mounted open up the terminal and type :

open /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Install\ ESD/BaseSystem.dmg

5) Connect the USB and go to Disk Utility to format it to OS X Extended(journaled) [In case of a hard disk partition format it in same manner]....Now restore the Basesystem to the Flash drive or HD Partition.

6) Open Basesystem and navigate to /System/Installation/.....delete the Packages link and replace it with the Packages folder from the InstallESD mounted earlier.

5) Now extract the Nawcom's patch for MBR (link provided below ) to the Desktop. open the installation media and replace

6) Now Install Extra Lion pkg(link below) and then Chameleon 2 RC5(link below) [Both must be installed to the Installation media]7) Done now restart and keep pressing F12 until you are asked to select the drives.....boot into the USB if installation media is USB otherwise directly into the HD8) In the Chameleon menu choose Mac OS Basesystem (Installation media).9) Install on the HD partition you want and wait for installation to finish.10) Boot into the Lion using the Installation media .

Thanks I'll trying this out soon! I want to tri boot Lion, Win 7x64 and Ubuntu. This was easy with my old Kalyway distro but Lion is way more involved.

It's simple just install Win 7 first then install ubuntu using wubi and finally install Lion frm this guide. When booting into chameleon select System reserved partition which will allow you to boot into Ubuntu or Windows 7.....

When I open Disk Utility in the installer, I cannot add a partition to my HDD. The "+" is greyed out. "You can't resize partitions on this disk because it uses the Master Boot Record partition scheme. This partition cant be modified."

Is there a way to partition it without loosing data that is already on the disc?

I'll try to find a solution to it and post it here if i figure out one

Looks like it is impossible in mostly all apps that require a system. I really want to install OSX on my SSD, but it will get flooded with apps.

Edit: Great. It wont let me past the "Transfer files from another computer." thingy. When I press "Do not transfer" it just greys out the "Continue" button and nothing happens. I cannot choose the other ones as I dont have internet on it yet.

Is it possible to upgrade to Lion final from SL 10.6.8 on SL installed partition?

Yes of course follow same procedure as upgrading from GM.

Found a solution for your Applications issue.....Keep your applications in the separate disk and right click on each application to create an alias (approx. 123 kb) and copy it to the application folder of your Lion and Voila!!!

For your migration issue use this Info.plist instead of the one I gave above in the Guide....please let me know if it works or not.||||||\/Info.plist.zip1.34KB83 downloads
